I hate that we have to explain this every year: The TIME "Person of the Year" award is specifically for the BEST person of the year, it means the editors of TIME think this person is objectively better than all other people, that it is their favorite person who they 100% support

the genAI bubble relies on you conflating the genuinely tremendous potential of using machine learning for e.g. image recognition in radiotherapy, protein folding, simulations in power systems etc with the child abuse image generators and schizophrenic delusions generators
People on BlueSky: AI is useless! A stochastic parrot!

(There are of course, as always, many caveats, but the paper is genuinely remarkable)

It's interesting how when google glass first came out, Google at least tried to *pretend* its main use case wasn't for perverts and gestapo. They were like, look doctors can use this, architects! Augmented reality plumbers!
Zuckerberg can't even be fucked to pretend it has any non-evil uses.

So now Mark’s creeper specs do what they are intended to do and the company can claim users are circumventing the “guardrails” and violating the TOS. Everyone gets what they want, except for the rest of us, who get screwed.
New: a $60 mod to Meta's Ray-Ban glasses disables the privacy LED light. This is supposed to light when people are filming with the glasses. We bought the mod, verified it works. Now you can never be sure whether someone wearing Meta Ray-Bans is filming you or not

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"
I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.
